Dream Boy 2008
R | 1h 28min | Drama, Romance | 11 December 2008 (Germany)
Storyline:
Shy and withdrawn, Nathan (played by Stephan Bender) is new to his school, unusually smart (a grade ahead) and the silent tension at home nearly unbearable. Mom, Dad, and Nathan have moved constantly, town after town, landing, inexplicably, in god-fearing “St. Francesville”. Roy (played by the multi-talented Max Roeg), a year older than Nathan, confident and hard-working, drives the bus to their school while a friendship blooms between them into a relationship that is fraught with confusion and yearning. But secrets pick at the relationship, the unspoken rules of their angst-driven interactions unravel as Nathan’s world again comes crashing inwards. Tension crescendos as shame and terror, stress and disaster all compete to immobilize and destroy both of their worlds.
User review:
I thought I would like this film based on the first half. Then the story goes downhill like a runaway pickup truck. I can’t help but think of “The Mudge Boy” (and “Fishbelly White”) which also starts out with a lot of potential but the writer puts in a story arch that ruins the tale and turns what could be a good experience into a downer.
The two lead actors were very good in their roles and the photography is lovely. The music was often annoying. This may have made a better short than a feature-length film with a rewrite of the turn of events. If it’s a tender love story you want, don’t watch the second half of this film. And the title “Dream Boy” is completely misleading. The film is based on a novel which I haven’t read but if the stories are the same, neither should be called “Dream Boy.”

This is a beautiful and profoundly moving story about young gay love, and the dangers of repressed feelings. Stephen is perfect as the sensitive and damaged lead, and Max Roeg is a surprisingly good and understated as the boy who falls in love with him.
This is a haunting movie that all gay men will probably enjoy. Saw it a few years ago, and just the final music on the bus let alone those closing scenes will be with me forever. As always, thanks Admin for all the hard work.
Agree with Dario; fantastic movie well worth watching. A shame it’s not really available here in the US, very difficult to find.
Spiritist-Karcercist movie and this religion is one of the few that don’t hate gays and there are several other lgbt-spiritist movies out there like “Cloud Atlas” and Every Day(2018). The end is that Nathan and Roy are mediums so they are the only ones who see spirits attached to that house like the spiritist film The Others, victims of homophobia in that small evangelical town, like so many out there. Until Nathan is murdered and joins the spirits, he stays attached, and Roy who was once a medium now sees him like “The Sixth Sense”, “Chico Xavier” and “Ghost (1990)”.
